Why is the NLA Editor the Only Animation Editor in 2.8 Without a Hotkey?
In Edit &gt; Preferences... &gt; Keymap &gt; Window you'll find the Shift+F* shortcuts as "Cycle Space Type Set". Open up one you don't use and change its type to "Nonlinear Animation". Or you can create a new shortcut and set it to screen.space_type_set_or_cycle, then add the type.
